Customer Reviews

AMAZING Movie, and JUST AS GOOD Soundtrack!
When I saw the movie Center Stage, I was immediately hooked. I had never imagined the American ballet could be so fun and exciting...I just thought it was very complicated! The movie turned out to exceed beyond my wildest dreams, and so did the soundtrack. Let me just say, it was not a disappointment AT ALL. With flavorful and dance-aholic songs like Jamiroquai's CANNED HEAT and COSMIC GIRL, Michael Jackson's THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL and The Red Hot Chili Peppers' HIGHER GROUND, the soundtrack is everything like the movie and more. The slower songs, such as Mandy Moore's I WANNA BE WITH YOU (the hit that is basically the movie's anthem) and WE'RE DANCING from P.Y.T. are key additions to the soundtrack. They add some sugar to the spice! Also, other great songs, like DON'T GET LOST IN THE CROWD by Ashley Ballard, IF I WAS THE ONE by Ruff Endz, GET USED TO THIS by Cyrena, and FRIENDS FOREVER by Thunderbugs make the motion picture soundtrack very unique. There is a really great mixture of different songs here, all compiled to form the rich texture of an AMAZING movie and soundtrack. I highly recommend this CD, even if you haven't seen the movie. Go see it! Center Stage was great, and the soundtrack is almost as good as the movie! How often can you say that! =)

The ultimate split personality soundtrack....
I loved the movie "Center Stage" and rushed out to buy the soundtrack. Usually I won't buy a soundtrack for the simple reason that all the good music from the movie is missing. But with "Center Stage" this isn't the case!

One of the great things about the "Center Stage" soundtrack is that there is a combination of slow, romantic songs and fast and furious dance tracks. Mandy Moore's "I Wanna Be With You," International Five's "First Kiss," Ashley Ballard's "Don't Get Lost In The Crowd," P.Y.T.'s "A Girl Can Dream" and Ruff Endz "If I Was The One" are all slow/romantic songs. P.Y.T.'s "We're Dancing," Thunderbugs "Friends Forever," Cyrena's "Get Used To This," my favourite band Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" and the ultimate funk trip "Cosmic Girl," Red Hot Chili Peppers remake of "Higher Ground," Elvis Crespo's "Come Baby Come," Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel," and the "I Wanna Be With You Soul Solution Remix" are all awesome groove-inducing cuts.

Newcomer Cyrena's "Get Used To This" is a saucy, smouldering, hip-shaking R&B groove that is great for dancing and singing along to. P.Y.T.'s "We're Dancing" starts off slow but quickly kicks things up a notch...considerably. Every time I hear Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" or "Cosmic Girl" I can't help but dance...just ask puzzled sales staff! This is a great album for choreographing, much like the workshop in the film. Elvis Crespo, the salsa god himself, puts in a cameo in the film and a song on the soundtrack... "Come Baby Come" is "shake your bonbon music" to the max...killer horns, bump-and-grind rhythm, hyped-up bass and drums. Fantastico!

Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" is a great song, but seemed out of place. If I was choreographing something I'd have chosen "Billie Jean," but hey, at least they put the King of Pop on the soundtrack. I didn't care as much for the Red Hot Chili Pepper's remake, but it is certainly danceable.

This is the ONLY soundtrack that I play all the way through without skipping songs or programming them out. It's that good! Great for workouts or parties, or listen to the slow songs for a more mellow, romantic mood. Ten stars!

This CD is AWESOME
I bought this CD the day it came out and it was really really good. If you are a pop music lover then you will like it a lot. The Mandy Moore song "I Wanna Be With You" shows a much more mature sounding side of Mandy. The awesome group of 13 and 14 year olds, PYT put out 2 awesome songs on this album, uptempo "We're Dancing" and slow tempo "A Girl Can Dream" (my favorite because it's really pretty and I can relate to it a lot). Some other tracks I really liked are "First Kiss" by International Five and "Friends Forever" by Jamorique (I think I spelled it right). If you love pop music about love and relationships, you'll love this CD so I reccomend buying it if that kind of music is your cup of tea :).
